Predictable warfare patterns aren’t what helped us win the Revolution.

Actually I tend to think otherwise, especially if I were to just think about a possible outcome similar to the Mel Gibson movie “The Patriot” where they assumed the Redcoats would do such and such and they changed tactics.

My Revolutionary war history is spotty but I do think that there were many cases where traditional warfare thinking was circumvented by the Revolutionaries.

The current American Civil War (yes it is happening) will be about families fighting against NATO, schoolboys against IRS SWAT teams, and they will remember movies like the original Red Dawn, they won’t act predictably.

No I can actually see soccer moms with Samurai sword lopping off socialist school board heads and then mounting them on pikes, I can see sheer brutality coming up, I see millions of armed Americans taking potshots at anything that is an icon of the Federal government.
